Helen Rowell's tiny West Village apartment is one of the tiniest I've ever seen. At just 78 inches wide, it's smaller than a queen-size bed is long. But it IS in the West Village and her rent is only $775 a month. Helen's become quite adept at getting rid of stuff, which she says is her "favorite thing," which is good because 90 square feet doesn't hold much.

Although, Helen has mastered the small space she does have. A platform bed with storage underneath, folding bistro chairs, impromptu plumbing pipes to fashion a closet...she's got everything covered.

And yes, the apartment has a kitchen, but, alas, no bathroom. That she shares with one other occupant in her building.
